St Margaret's, Denton

St Margaret of Antioch church is grade 2* listed church, the first church on this site was consecrated in 1190. The building as it is now has a long history. The oldest dated stone in the church is in memory of a death which occurred in 1629. In 1975 after much perseverance the interior of the church was painted with biblical scenes. The work was completed over 3 years by the locally renowned artist Henry Bird. Many residents of that time appear in the murals, having sat as models. The mural scheme which took 17 years from conception to completion still draws visitors.
